"Having the chance to play Violet on 'Melrose Place' has been a thrill," Ashlee told Access in a statement last month. "Although I always knew her story would come to a final, insanely unpredictable end, playing a creepy, unstable character was something I always wanted to do, so I jumped at the chance. Thanks to The CW and the entire cast and crew of 'Melrose Place' for allowing me this opportunity!"
